1. Evaluation of the third annual Locally Grown Locally Made Food Festival

The Juneau Commission on Sustainability, in collaboration with the Juneau Arts & Humanities Council and the Juneau Economic Development Commission and with assistance from the Alaska Division of Agriculture, organizes the annual Farmers Market in order to promote discussion and exploration of greater food self-sufficiency. It brings together consumers, growers, and producers of local foods, with the intent of encouraging local sustainability through backyard gardening and small business initiatives. In addition, it offers a space for not-profit businesses to raise money through sales of produce or baked goods containing locally grown or harvested ingredients.

Please help us evaluate the success of this project by completing this survey.
